Quality:Our rod cover tips are sealed with an adhesive before applying a heavy-duty heat shrink. This allows maximum hold and durability to take the abuse we fisherman can deliver. Other manufactures fold the tag end inside of the sleeve which can catch on the line guides over time. Upgrade Fishing Premium Rod Covers are flared and double-rolled on the outside which provides a smooth application and removal of the cover without the possibility of snagging on the line guides.
